Pictures

Where do we post pictures again?

Of yourself, here, (http://www.alternatehistory.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=435) and there is a scavenger hunt thread here (http://www.alternatehistory.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=5520)

It says my file is too large. What do I do?

[Michael]

Try saving as a jpeg, or put it up on a free webpage if that is possible

It is jpeg. Maybe I can post it on my website, though I'm having trouble doing that. This week is bad, I will see when I can do something. Maybe I can lower the resolution.

Much better to decrease the physical size of the picture, there is after all no point in having one that is wider than most monitors or deeper than most. Open it on the screen and then imagine how it would fit into a message thread. If it is simply too big, use resize/resample of your image viewer to halve it or whatever.

How do I do that? It just chops off the upper left corner when I do.

Um? What program do you use for image editing ? Irfan View is nice and simple and has a resize option that is simple to use; you can dictate pixels or percentage of the original when resizing.
